June Hatch-A-Long

[clothdiaperingmom]

I believe I have read here and there that silkies are hard to hatch.

I tried a batch from a seller here. (My 1st incubation ever so it was me Im sure). I had 4 out of 13 go into lockdown, none hatch. 1 had pipped internally but never made it out.

Yay for 1 chickie at least!!!

Yay!!! I now have 3 pips!!!!

Speckled sussex was 1st one, now ameracauna and an unknown small brown egg (from a local guy)

I have 4 lavendar Orps, 1 black cochin and 4 pheasants so far. Allot of JG are pipping.

Here is my 1st hatchling out of this batch. It was the 1st to pip as well.

A speckled sussex.

The 2 other pippers havent started zipping, and no other pips. Sure hoping to wake up to more pips tomorrow!!!

Incubator is at day 23 today - how long should I hold out for any more hatches? There are 4 still in there, no movement or sounds that I can tell.

Here is Doodle the black silkie -

Well, Doodle is an only silkie - I pipped the other eggs enough to look inside - 1 still had yolk, 1 pipped the membrane but that was it, 1 pipped the membrane at the wrong end, and the last pipped the membrane but was sooooo cross beaked it looked as there was no way for it to have gotten through the shell

I'm kinda feeling ya Mayberrygirl. First hatch is at day 21 today and first one to pip pips in the middle of the egg... twice. not good. Holding out hopes for the 2 that are left. Plus side is I have a bunch of other eggs to hatch later in the month. 13BO, 6BSF, and 6BA

My last hatch, 2 ameracaunas pipped at the small end and both hatched just fine. They are almost a month old now.

I woke up to 2 new babies today. The other 2 pippers.

And just in the past hr, another SS has pipped!!
